I write fiction and non-fiction for kids.

I love stories of all kinds–true ones, made-up ones, and especially ones that sound made-up but aren’t. For instance, did you know that in medieval Paris, the main sewer line that ran past the Tournelles palace smelled so foul that François I bought another palace (the Tuileries) a quarter of a mile away? You can learn more about that in the April 2014 issue of Dig!
